"I was downstairs. I was working and someone from the deli came over and told me there was a fire on the third floor," DiGregorio said.

He's thankful to Lewis, but he's upset for the tenants and the future of the music store.

"It's like a community spot. Everyone knows it. We have been here for 46-47 years, so everyone knows this place and it's just a landmark," he said. "Everyone comes in and you get to know everyone. The students are great. It's just a nice little place to be."

No one was hurt in the fire, and much of the music store was saved by the firefighters who extinguished the flames.
